Electronic Consumer Protection Act

I read an article today about a bill in Canada that they are trying to pass called the Electronic Consumer Protection Act. The bill would give consumers more protection from spam, spyware, phishing and botnets. It would also allow the government to apply tougher penalties for those that do not play by the new rules. Some people are saying that this bill would be worthless because it won't be enforced. Also, it does not protect Canada from other countries attacking the consumer. I still think this is a step in the right direction. Every country that wants to protect their citizens should inact a bill like this. If countries would clean up there own backyard instead of concerning themselves with what there neighbors are doing than maybe we could make some progress. One of the things I like about this bill is that it will allow people to opt-in to recieving information from companies instead of having to opt-out. I wish more things could be like this. I would actually pay more for something to avoid advertisements. What do you think?
